I just heard this from my manager:
Since Bill Gates quit being the CEO of Microsoft (he's just the owner now, not both), there were a bunch of companies bidding for him to work for them. Well, Nintendo won, and now he's Nintendo's new CEO :confused: Ninento's former CEO stepped down, saying that he didn't like the direction the company was going. What do you guys think of that??

Where did you get this infor from. You said your manager what does he know about the gaming world do you have a link. I just can believe this right now. I would need proof before I start to believe anything this thread says.:)

He stepped down so he could concentrate on other things within Microsoft. If he stepped down to become more focused with Microsoft, why would he then go to a different company?

I noticed that Razzle Dazzle hasn't posted here since the topic began. I think y'all scared her away!

Bill should just buy Nintendo...and Sony. Eliminate the competition. Forcefeed everyone the xbox whether they like it or not. But competition does breed better games for all of us, I guess. I get tired of people bashing the xbox and acting like the PS2 is superior. It's so not. I hope Maximus is right and that the online information shifts everything in Microsoft's favor.

there were rumors that microsoft tried to buy out nintendo, he even offered them a sh*tload of money, but they turned him down

Yeah, they screwed up. The only thing that keeps them afloat is the handhelds. I wouldn't really want Mario on the xbox, though. I think Nintendo would ally themselves with Sony before Microsoft.

Uhhh No...
1. Ok, Billys officia title is "Chairman and Chief Software Architect"
2. Why would anyother company want Billy to be their leader? Billy would corrupt them and try to get them out of business, being he OWNS MS and would want to help the Xbox...why would he help others, and why would others want his help.
You are a dumbass of you believe this...so why even post it?

Actually, Bill Gates doesn't draw a large salary from Microsoft. His money comes from stock trading.

There's no way in hell Bill Gates would work against his own company.. that's bad for business.

Okay, you guys, I just decided to look at this thread (haven't been online for a bit). Anyways, I'm not saying that I believe it, just that's what my manager said. I will ask him where he got his info as soon as I can. No, I am not on drugs. I was just wondering if anybody else has heard this. It seemed strange when I heard it, but usually my manager has pretty reputable info. ...:confused:
